I've been messing around with Wordpress with the aim to set myself up a simple blog. I've been meaning to 'get into' blogging for a while, so figured I'd start up a blog about iPhone apps just to get into the hand of writing regularly. I also decided I'd like to get my hands dirty with the theme rather than just grab an 'off the shelf' one.

The layout I have in mind is really simple.....just a three column design, with menus on the left and right, and content down the middle. I wanted my theme to be fluid width, so I thought I'd have the left and right menus fixed and the centre column would scale relative to the size of the browser window. Unfortunately, my lovely CSS knowledge has been my downfall and I've hit upon a problem that I can't fix. The columns end up all over the place. See for yourselves....

I don't claim to be a graphic designer or whatnot, so don't be surprised that it's pretty bland. As I said, I'm doing this more as a learning exercise than anything else!

Here's the CSS for the elements....

code:
#wrapper { width: 90%; min-width: 990px; margin:15px auto 15px auto; background: #ffffff; }

#frame { float:left; width: 100%; margin:auto; }

#left { float: left; width: 123px; }

#middle { margin: 0 200px 0 160px }

#right { float:left; width: 180px; }
Could anyone perhaps suggest what I'm doing wrong here? I'm sure it's something simple, but any help would be much appreciated!

Google Float Tutorial. Also use a reset.css. These questions are better for the Web Design and Development thread.

Cool...i'll keep my CSS questions in that thread then! Thanks anyway.

How does everyone integrate Flickr into their Wordpress blogs?

All the Flickr plugins I've tried seem to overly elaborate things which try to make ugly slideshows and stuff like that. Really what I'd like to do is be able to load my photos to Flickr, then be able to import selected pictures directly from my Flickr account into my Wordpress media library so I can use them in my posts. Can anyone recommend a plugin to do this?
